Not Surprising.
To those who ^re acquainted with
all of the faetf in the case, it is not
surprising that the candidates for the
major offices in Barnwell County are
unopposed for re-election this year—
and it eah be said without fear of
contradiction that the allegedly/high
campaign assessments had nothing
whatever to do with keeping others
out of the variou B races. /The truth
of the matter is that these public ser
vants have been faithful to their trust
and the people are not desirous of
making a change At this time.
Last week The People-Sentinel pub
lished a brief/news item about the
condition of Barnwell County's ‘ finan
ces, the data for which was furnished
by jCapt/J. J. Bell, county treasurer.
From that it was learned that "tax
collections for 1983 were much better
for any other twelve-month

comfortably full. The 12-year-
old boy who sat behind me seemed to
rest better with his right foot on my
right shoulder and his left foot on my
left shoulder. Some boys must sit

The first 5 minutes the screen
explained who in town had the best
dry cleaning, and who sold the cold

were compounded; the next 10 min
utes informed the audience all about
the coming pictures for Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday; the next 12 minutes notified
us that some nice pictures would
come next week and week after next.

several years the schools have been
able to pay their teachers in full. . .
The county’s bonded indebtedness has
been reduced . . . $17,000.”
We doubt if there be a county in
South Carolina that can equal this
record and when it can be shown that
it ha a also been possible to substan
tially reduce the tax levy at the same
time, the record * 8 the more re
markable. In fact, for two years no
levy whatever was made for ordinary
county purposes.
All of this has been made possible
through the close cooperation of ALL
of the county officials with the legis
lative delegation, coupled with the
practice of careful economy. It would
be unfair to gay that any one man
deserves the credit for what has been
done, for all concerned helped in a
large measure, and there is plenty
of glory to go around.
Barnwell County is extrenfely for
tunate in having such a capable
group of ‘‘Court House officials” and
a legislative delegation that hot only
works for the best interests of the
people of the county but one that .also
influences to a big extent the shaping
of Statewide legtstitfon. With Rdgar
Brown in the Senate and Sol Blatt and
“Win” Smith in the House, this coun
ty is generally conceded to have a set
of lawmakers second to none in
South Carolina. What they lack in
■umbers, they more than make up in
prestige and influence.
‘ So, aa we said above, it is not sur
prising that those who come up for
re>-election this year are without op
position, and as long as they continue
te render the same efficient seivice
a R in the past, there will be no need
and IftUe Iike 1 ihood that any will de

ty are not ungrateful and they are al
ways glad to show their appreciation
of worthy achievements by placing
the stamp of ‘‘well done” on the rec
ords of their public servants.

“Gkrifying” a Politician.
“I wish ... to glorify myself
if I can,” James O. Sheppard, candi
date for governor, is quoted as telling
"a rapidly dwindling audience” at
Lexiqfton Tuesday. FJorenz Zeig-
feld ig supposed to have glorified the
American girl, but this thing of
“glorifying” a South Carolina politi
cian is something else again. But,
on second thought, glorifying means
“to acknowledge the excellence of; to
render homage to; to magnify in wor
ship; to adore,” so that, in their own
minds, all candidates are “glorified.”
Lives there .one who does not ac-
excellenec who
doe g not render homage to himself—^
who does not magnify in self-worsl
—who does not adore the sound oMiis
own voice?
